"A narrow alley in Okayama glistens under a fine rain, a walker with a yellow umbrella walks away towards a wooden bell tower that dominates the rooftops."

Context of the work

This 1947 print is signed by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957), undisputed master of shin-hanga and specialist in rain and night scenes, published by the editor Watanabe Shōzaburō, a founding figure of this movement.

What did Kawase Hasui particularly excel at?

Hasui (1883-1957) excelled at capturing the atmosphere of a precise moment: the wetness of the cobblestones, the silence of a street in the rain - a skill that made him the undisputed master of shin-hanga rain and night scenes.
